[PATCH] ARM: pxa: use spinlock for dma channels

Dma channels are managed by drivers, and it has the demux function to
handle irqs. So it is possible to occur conflick when request or free
dma channels; for example, when core 0 is handling the irq, while core 1
is going to free the dma channel at the same time. So we need use
spinlock to synchronise these two operations.
